They look good. I'd really like to try out a turntable trailer. I am sure they take some getting use to but can see the advantages. Reversing them must be hard skill to master.

But. Am with you would love a turntable trailer.

Hello, just researching buying a new tipping trailer, got it down to either a Bryan James 12' or a Graham Edwards 12'...I have owned several Ifor Williams in the past both flatbed & tipper, my experience was that the earlier trailers made by old man Ifor were great, the new ones really not as well built, tow badly & try ringing their customer service that was a joke!...really rude & un-cooperative. I was glad to of sold it & got a really good price for the trailer...

I currently own a GE flatbed tri-axle which is without a doubt the best trailer I have ever owned, tows like a dream though axles do bend easily...managed to right off all three whilst avoiding a sodding bus by clipping a kerb at 25mph, to be fair the trailer was carrying alot of york stone at the time.

Owned a bespoke tipper made by Warwick, heavy & horrid to tow...very well built though, they make nice looking tractor trailers & were a nice firm to do business with.

 

What is the general opinion on Bryan James Tippers as never towed one of their tipping trailers, the tri axles look good . Do the tippers tow as well as the GE Tipper?

I have a ifor 3017 with caged sides. Had it about 6 months now and use it 3-4 days a week. I've been very pleased with it. It carries 1-2 tons most of the time. Sits happily at 50mph behind a pickup or transit. I bought it specifically as it was the same width as our L200's and for urban work having the trailer the same as the vehicle is a help. No issues with build quality so far. I've get about 40 full tips without having to charge the battery.

 

My local dealer was very good but Ifor were a bit of pain when ordering. I wanted the solid sides as standard but after 6 weeks wait there was no light at the end of the tunnel so had to go with the mesh ones. Also took 4 more weeks to get the light protectors to me.
